Cynthia Rylant is one elegant writer--she handles words with clarity, ease, and great sensitivity; and she does it across a surprising range of reading levels. This book includes four stories of the Meadow family, drawn from the author's childhood in the Appalachian Mountains. Ellen Beier's interspersed watercolors set just the right tone. A good read-aloud for younger children.
Reading level = 4.5; Quality = 5; Acceptability = 5.
